64 THE WOODLOT. 



FIGURE 18. 

 Diagram of Stand ix Berkshire County, Mass. 



Neglected, irregularly culled stand of old hardwoods (12 to 20 inches in diameter, 

 40 to 50 feet in height), in which scattering White Pines and Hemlocks have pro- 

 duced a valuable young crop of saplings. As the hardwoods are nearly all in bad 

 condition and many of the saplings about to be suppressed, most of the overwood 

 must be removed. This includes Red Oak 1, Red Maples 1 and 2, and Sugar Maple 

 1, all of which are in poor condition. White Pine 1, which is not seriously crowd- 

 ing younger trees, may be left a few years for further seeding or until needed.
